2007 Winnebago View Diesel
Would sure appreciate any comments on the quality of this kind of rig. A friend has one for sale for $40,000 with 70k miles. She's taken good care of it, but I worry about expensive diesel maintenance...

Really wanted to buy a Winnie Sprinter View a couple of years ago. Here is a suggestion. Goggle and go to the MB Sprinter site for the USA. Take a look at where the dealers/service centers are located. See if you are comfortable in a rural area with an authorized service center at that distance. That is what stopped me from buying one.
Oklahoma City has a huge Freightliner center. Next stop west was Albuquerque back when I looked. From ABQ, next north was Denver. And so on. The folks like FEDEX and UPS have their own mechanics and full service centers for their fleets. I didn't want to be in line at Freightliner. There are some independent guys within ten miles of my house that will work on them, but I was buying a new rig and so needed a warranty center, not one of these folks.
If I traveled in a more densely populated area of the country most of the time like many on this forum seem to enjoy, I would buy one. I wrestled with this for a couple of months and bought a C on a Ford chassis. I don't think there is a county seat town in the country that doesn't have a Ford or Chevy place.
